And for more than 100 families Thursday, Family Reading Night was filled with children and adults dressed as their favorite characters from the television series “Duck Dynasty.”

Ducks may have been the theme, but this night was all about celebrating the fun of reading.

“This is a night built around getting families and their children to immerse themselves into the love of reading,” Dakota Elementary School Principal Crystal Thorpe said.

During the day at school, the students were able to dress up like characters from the television show, which is a hit with many of the students. All it cost for each student to dress up was $1, which was donated to the Parent Teacher Organization.

For fifth-grader Michael Davis, the night was all about the fun of the duck.

“This is my favorite show, and to be able to dress up and play a character is all about the fun,” Davis said.

Parents and children played games, had their pictures taken and took part in reading some books.

“The kids have been talking about this for weeks, and to build some fun around reading is what this night is all about,” Thorpe said.
